SCENE 3 | Big Bird finally figures out what Snuffy is good at: not being seen by his friends! He proves it by having Snuffy hide, then going to fetch some people.

Big Bird notices Snuffy's hiding spot and tries to help conceal him, but the others never end up finding him. The adults leave, and Snuffy feels like he finally won something. |
